Creating new character sheets for new RPGs

So, I'm fairly new here, please forgive my ignorance, but:

There's a game called Bulldogs! (sci-fi that kicks ass)* I would love to run. It uses a modified version of Fate (Core) rules. We have Fate (core) character sheets on the site already, but the standard fate sheets don't have the right damage tracks and a couple other handy things that Bulldogs uses.
So the question is: how difficult is it to create a new character sheet format, and is it something that site users can do on their own, or is something that takes the time and resources of site staff/admins to do?

You can request a new character sheet. In the meantime, you may use the Custom character sheet and enter in the details manually. Custom sheets are basically blank pages; more overhead to track things, but able to get you playing right away.

It's also worth noting that new character sheets aren't likely to happen right away, so it is best not to wait.

I don't know if the Fate character sheet has a field for taking notes, but if it does, you could always use the sheet as-is, but list any of the changes in the notes field. Otherwise, you might have to use the Custom sheet like CancerMan said...

Both good options, and likely what I'll do if I run it. I just thought I'd check to see if it was something that could be done easily. Since it seems it's not, it's really not worth it for such a small and relatively unknown game.

Thanks for the info and suggestions guys!
